[osis-core] Syntax Check

Guys,

Before I re-write the regex, is there general agreement on Steve's proposal:

work(refsys):canonical(split)@grain-canonical(split)@grain

(This may have been what Steve outlined while we were in Canada and I 
mashed into something else for posting, Apologies if that was what 
happened.)

So, whatever the declared syntax of "work" it is followed by optional 
"(refsys)" plus ":" plus "canonical" plus an optional "(split)" (to 
indicate a subdivision that is not part of the canonical reference), 
followed by an optional grain "@grain (which is either str or cp 
followed by a colon, then square brackets), then the range indicator, 
plus all the foregoing again.

Comments, modifications?

Thanks!

Patrick
